Perfect description….it really is

Looks great Mike. I’m surprised your patch looks so good after a hot wash :o
-
I think it's the Wesco bee oil. Unfortunately I ran out and switched to my 30 year old Red Wing oil and it immediately turned way darker.
-
Thanks for the tip. Gonna try & get a bottle of one of those oils. The leather products I’ve been using has been a hit or miss with protecting the patches from hot washes. One of my patches are on the way to looking like chicharron ???
-
You mean like this?
-
Whoa! Yours definitely looks like it’s been in a deep fryer
-
Personally I use VSC but Lexol would be a good choice too. Neither will darken/discolor
-
Thanks for the advice. I just used this stuff because it was readily available.
-
It's highly unusual that I have a brand new pair of jeans and I prefer to wear my old ones. This has never happened to me before.

I was experimenting with different kinds of light sources to try and capture the right color of these. This is a mix of an old incandescent bulb and an LED bulb at the same time.

Speaking of hot washed XHS patches versus un-hot washed XHS patches:
The left is mine from 9 years ago, and the right is @Nkwkfld (I treated it with Obenaufs and sunlight to make it so silky smooth btw, no offense just having fun with the crinkled patch). And patches are beer coasters, change my mind…
-
Cool comparison [mention]adam313 [/mention] this makes me want to start treating the leather on my denim…

So I spilled trash on my jeans. I think it’s avocado
not sure. I tried to spot clean it with a rag but it just kept pulling indigo off the Jean so I stopped 🥲You think I should just avoid cleaning this stain further (it’s not that bad) until my first wash? Not sure if rubbing it to much will leave a bald spot…what is y’all’s experience with spot cleaning this Jean? Washing in general?
